Beskrivning
Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing what it means to be human. Given our increasing merger with machines, we have therefore entered uncharted territory and an era of unprecedented change. For pastoral and spiritual care providers, religious faith communities, clinical practitioners, and educators, immediate theological reflection is needed, focusing on the potential existential threat and opportunity, and what will constitute human personhood in an age of technological enhancement. Preserving our humanity in a digital age will require intentional focus on strengthening the neural circuitry associated with focused attention, mindful and compassionate awareness, and social and relational intelligence, even as we put to good use the emerging digital technologies.

Recensioner i media

In Pastoral and Spiritual Care in a Digital Age: The Future is Now, Bingaman challenges ministers, theologians, teachers, students, and congregants to stop and take stock of the significant technological changes that are happening today and that will continue to take place in the future. He implores readers to take an even-handed approach in understanding these new technololiges, assessing the opportunities and dangers. More importantly, he offiers ideas about how we can maintain and enhance our attentional depth as we struggle with the questions and engage in compassionate conversations with persons from scientific disciplines. This book is the first step toward having these conversations, which means much more work ahead of us.
